Nottinghamshire County Council has confirmed that no decision has been made to sell its County Hall building as some criticised rumours of flats being based there as "inappropriate". The authority has been reviewing its whole estate as part of plans to save millions of pounds on buildings.
This work has already seen the number of county council buildings being cut down from 17 to nine. The outcome of a review on the future of the remaining buildings has now recommended that the council should look for further efficiencies, with a final decision expected by March.
But at a meeting of the council's overview committee today (January 24), some councillors said that there had already been speculation from senior members of the council on County Hall's future which was "just not right." Councillors referred to comments by both Keith Girling and Ben Bradley.
